Since 2012 !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! have been packaging and distributing blind mix-packs in the form of an Advent Calendar. The first year had a Happy To Have It theme, 2013 saw Almost Every Continent , and in 2014 it was Beers of The Americas . In 2015 it was You can’t have it in your market because there’s a mix of bottles and cans .

It’s back this year with a theme of New World Beers from Old World Countries . There’s now a USA Edition also (available in select US states).

Most (chances are there will be others) of the breweries and beers the company can distribute:

Although some say they’ve seen them on the floor at their local beer store, I’ve not personally, and always pre-order. Delivery is mid-November. Generally great quality with some exceptional mixed in. Good times, highly recommend.

They say it’ll be available in Manitoba! Woot! I’ll likely have to run into the city to find one, but whatevs, I’ll make it happen.

I wonder if it’ll make it this far south. I’d buy one. I’m the only one at my house that drinks beer. How much do they cost? I’d guess $40-50??

I was afraid someone was going to ask the cost. They’re around 175 Canadian Pesos. :-(x The packaging alone cost the company 30.

That’s about $130 US.

I like the idea, but don’t think I could justify the price. I also doubt it’ll be available in the Midwest.

They might be available there. They ship to eastern Canada, and that’s much further away.

If you have the disposable income to spend on it, it’s justifiable. $5 a beer and some you’ll never have another chance to try.
